Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2021
457. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Education if her Department will ensure that a permanent location is provided for a school (details supplied) at the Malahide Broomfield site that was identified in 2018; and if the school build will be accelerated given the serious need for a permanent building. [45050/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the building project for the school in question is included in my Department's capital programme.
The acquisition of a permanent site for Malahide Portmarnock ETNS is at a very advanced stage of conveyancing. Once all contractual matters have been finalised the site will be assessed for Architectural Planning.
While a site acquisition process is underway, given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
